Cylinders and cones:
The Area of a circle is used to find the area of both cylinder and cone. A difference between the two is that a cylinder has two bases, while the cone only has one. Both of these bases for each shape is a circle.
Prisms and Pyramids:
Both prisms and Pyramids can include a triangle. A prism also has two bases while the pyramid only has one base. You can find the lateral area of both of these shapes by adding up all the sides, but not the bases.
